I thought TriMed was on the TRBOWEST system. I loaded their TGs into the TRX-1, but haven't herd anything the best 30-45 minutes. They're not encrypted, are they?
What is TriMed On?

Are you referring to Tri-Met?
The private ambulance company TriMed in King County. Looks like all they do is update dispatch when they're on scene, etc.

They are/were on TGID 224 of TRBOWEST.
That's the one I found and loaded but I hear maybe something every few hours or so on there. I had to add Seattle site 58 manually into the TRX-1. Is there a way to change which site it monitors?

Well that's your problem. Site 58 isn't Seattle. You need to load up Gold Mtn, Tiger Mtn and Columbia Tower.

Or maybe whatever covers South King County, since TriMed only goes into Seattle during transports.

So I guess that would be Site 48 Fife Heights. Though I've heard them on Tiger Mtn many times.
I have both of those. It just blinks the square S and the signal walks up and down in the display. As it seems, the LCNs were off; just checked the LCNs and updated them, so we'll see...

It won't matter as the TRX scanners do not trunk track DMR or NXDN systems. They only scan the frequencies and color code/RAN code.
Also you should note that it's the weekend and [in general] the traffic dies down especially over a holiday.
Trimed is utilizing a 4G/5G based radio system now in conjunction with a CAD system. There is Motorola XPR radios in the rigs, but I believe it is used for the VHF H.E.A.R radio.

Hmm so Zello eh? Or it could be the Motorola TLK radios.
It's not zello, radio system is through a cell network provider. Kind of like the old Nextel's.
And I was so excited to get some TriMed on the TRX-1. I just missed a peep on my way in my room. It seriously stinks because I was hoping to have a little more to listen to.
Let me know if you hear anything on the channel, I am curious now. But I know for a fact that they use the cell based PTT/radio for sure, I can confirm that (if you catch my drift). 😉
Half hour ago, I heard dispatcher calling a "71," and telling they are Code Green. Tey probably dispatch on the PTT and then keep in touch with a dispatcher via radio. The dispatcher was telling them to return to quarters.
Strangely my TRX-1 let me load in the TRBOWEST (i.e. no "S" like with PSE's system). One would make you think it can track DMR in that case. I also updated my library and that seems to work better for me, in general.

I have no problem tracking DMR and NXDN with any of my TRX radios. Others are not so experienced.
Also, don't use the database.
I guess welcome back from Arizona, if you were actually there.

Visiting for my B-Day. Will fly back on 2/27. By the way, what does Falck Ambulance serve? They're supposedly a Danish ambulance company. Has anyone ever listened to them?
Also, are you suggesting that I program TRBOWEST manually?

Good to know that WSDOT is outsourcing to Arizona, I guess. Falck used to be Pierce County north when I flirted with working there.
I program literally everything manually, I strive to use the DB zero percent of the time.
